Declare Independence

Happy 4th of July! In honor of this national holiday, let’s talk about independence.

Just as the colonists decided to reject the tyrannical rule of Great Britain, we can choose to declare independence from the potential oppression of Type 1 diabetes. Use today as an opportunity to reflect on your habits and make a change to prevent diabetes from taxing you anymore than it already does. Everyone can take one step to become more free– whether that means testing your blood sugar more frequently, adding more nutritious foods to your diet, incorporating more activity into your life, improving stress management, or prioritizing self-care.
